RIB Coming Up

The Radical Independent Book Fair is the perfect antidote to the festival of consumer dronery...

GLASGOW'S RADICAL INDEPENDENT BOOK-FAIR PROJECT

DEC 15th - CCA - 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow12am - 10pm - free entry

Within Britain, Scotland and specifically Glasgow there are fewer and fewer outlets for independent and radical materials. Corporate bookshops rule the roost and offer little in the way of counter culture, radical voices or local independent materials. The Radical Independent Book-fair project (RIB) has come about to help redress this imbalance...The project is not just an occasional bookshop and travelling bookstall... it is also a temporary library, a videotheque, a meeting point for distribution, discussion and ideas, as well as a place to come and have a blether. There's film, discussion, stalls and 'videotheque' (whatever that is!)

UNIVERSITY of BUEA STUDENTS.
Since the spring of 2005, students of the University of Buea, challenging a 10-year illegitimate ban on all forms of protest, have been striking to request basic rights and essential amenities. As usual Cameroon forces were brought in to forcefully stop the strike. By November 2006, the forces had shot and killed 5 students, beaten another to death and severely injured many more. This documentary tries to tell the story of these horrifying events.

CITY STROLLS - BRIDGE PROJECT.
COMMON AIMS, SELF DETERMINATION AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ASSOCIATION.
On the "practicalities" of working and cooperating with each other in the movement for change.Taken from the idea that the work of radical groups, or whatever we want to call ourself, is to expand the base for a working class movement for change. At present we have the building blocks in various specialities, and all the ingredients to mix the cement. We seem to lack the commonality and vision of what it is we want to do, or hope to build. How do we discover if what we are doing can be done better, more effectively? How do we reach the wider audience not just the converted? Why does the wheel get regularly reinvented - the same problems crop up continuously? What has happened to the common dream that could shape the architecture of our collective endeavour? And most importantly, how do we encourage self determination in our communities?
CCA4 4.00pm - 5.30pm
